Tipperary councillor to speak about his personal experience for Mental Health Week event
Cllr Michael ‘Chicken’ Brennan will feature as part of the free public event
Tipperary councillor Michael Brennan is to be one of the featured guest speakers at this year’s Tipperary Mental Health Week main public event in Thurles.
The event, which takes place on Wednesday, October 7, at the TUS Campus in Thurles, will run from 10am to 1:30pm and is open to the public free of charge.
This year’s theme is “Creating Meaningful Connections”, with the event focusing on the importance of connection, belonging and community in supporting positive mental health and wellbeing.
Councillor Brennan, who comes from a long tradition of public service in Tipperary, is expected to speak about his own personal journey and the experiences that have shaped his interest in mental health awareness and wellbeing.
His involvement in public life has also seen him develop a particular interest in issues surrounding addiction, recovery and the importance of support and connection within communities.
Organisers said they were delighted to welcome Councillor Brennan to the event and described his personal experience and perspective as offering an important contribution to the discussion around mental health and recovery.
The event will explore the power of meaningful human connection and the role that individuals, communities and local organisations can play in supporting mental health.
Members of the public are invited to attend what promises to be a morning of discussion, reflection and personal insight at the TUS Campus in Thurles.
